"My son was taking the food out to the car," she said. "We heard gunshots. The door was open. I ran to shut the door, when I heard my son saying, 'Mom, I've been hit.'"

Byrd said she heard about 15 shots. She said her son had been hit multiple times.

"He was bleeding pretty bad," Byrd said. "We pulled him from underneath the porch, put him in the back seat of the vehicle, drove him to the hospital."

Byrd said her son is expected to survive. She also said there are surveillance cameras around her home, and she thinks she has a good idea who's responsible for the shooting, although Pittsburgh police are still investigating and have not made any arrests.

Byrd said she wants to go to Mayor Bill Peduto's office and raise her concerns about what she says has been happening in the neighborhood.

"In a five-month period, there's been a minimum of five shootings in this immediate area within a five-mile radius," Byrd said. "It's no secret about who's doing these shootings or which houses they're hiding in. Something needs to be done down in Larimer."
